Since no one wants to help learn to run a lather and a mill here in Jacksonville, I want to know if there is any good books on the subject? I one day do want a table top lather and table mill.

I don't know of any machinist books by title. If you don't mind watching youtube, try videos by
tubalcain. Books are better, you can read them anytime, anywhere. Try a search on Amazon.

Justin:
Here's what you do- go to the Goodheart-Willcox Co. website and click on products; then click on the "Manufacturing/Metals" subcategory.
The first textbook you see is "Machining Fundamentals" by John Walker, 9th Ed. c.2014.
There are a number of other similar books listed there as well, such as CNC stuff.
Now, since you are not a book buyer- such as a school district- (and don't want to pay the retail prices shown), then go over to Amazon or Booksamillion websites and see if there are cheaper
(and perhaps, earlier copyright editions) that are for sale.
Check a local high school or vocational technical center that has a metal shop or production technology program. Often the instructors have old copies of similar books and might be generous to you.
Hope this helps, buddy!
